ADJUSTER FOR OUTRIGGERS.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patelltd A151'. 24, 1917.

Application filed May 18, 1916. i Serial No. 98,364.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN NEVILLE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Duluth,l in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have in`- vented Certain new and useful Improvements in Adjusters for ,Outriggers, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to adjusters for out-riggers and has for its principal' object the production of anjupper and a lower V-shaped frame that may be so adjusted as to lower or raise the oar locks.

Another object of this invention is the production of a lower V-shaped frame having internal threads adapted to receive an adjusting member. A

With these and otherk objects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafterfully described and claimed. f

In the accompanying drawing Figure l is a detail perspective of an outrigger showing the device attached thereto;

Fig. 2 is aside elevation of the adjusting means showing the same partly in section.

Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3, of

Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrow.

By referring to the drawing by numerals it will be seen that l represents an loutriggeraipon which is carried `the upper V- shaped frame 2 and the lowerr V-shaped frame V3. These V-shaped frames are attached to the out-riggerby means of the rivets 4M It will be noted that the frames '2 and 3 are connected intermediate their with the adjusting members.rk It will beseen Yby referring especially to Fig. 2 that this adjusting member 7 comprises the vnut portion 8 and the oppositely threaded portions 9. It will also be noted that the carry- VFrom this construction it will be seen that when the nut 8 is turned, that the carryingframe 3 will be either raised or lowered, thereby raising or lowering the oar lock Lockingjnuts 10 are also adapted to be carried upon the-threads 9 so that when the kdevice is adjusted as is desired, the nuts l0 may be screwed tightly in engagement with the frame 3, thereby preventing any accidental turning of the nut 8.

From the above description it will be noticed that a very simple and eflicient device has been produced whereby the oar lock. may be raised or lowered as is desired. It should alsobe noticed that when-the nuts 10 are screwed in tight engagement with the carrying frame 3, that the strain will not all be upon the internal threads of the frame 3 and the threads 9 will be taken up by the nuts 10. V f f It should be understood that when the ing-frame 3 is provided with internal adjusting means is regulated so as .to either raise ,or lower the upper V-shaped bar 2 lis claimed as new, is

In a device of the class described, the combination of an upper and a lower V- shaped frame, said frames attached to each other intermediate their ends, adjusting members carried by said lower frame, said adjusting members comprising a nut, oppositely threaded cylindrical portions integrally projecting from each side of said nut and adaptedto screw into said lower V-shaped frame, auxiliary nuts carried by said cylindrical portions for strengthening said adjusting members and at the same time locking the same against rotary movement.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afliX my signature. f

JOHN NEVILLE.
